put your stuff in a file named pkg-install and this in your Makefile :
PKGDEINSTALL= ${PKGINSTALL}
fetch extract patch build: # not tested, but sould suffice.
post-install:
@${SETENV} PKG_PREFIX=${PREFIX} ${SH} \
${PKGINSTALL} ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL
a sample pkg-install file may be found in /usr/ports/security/op.
it should not me a problem to provide en empty pkg-plist file ?
don't forget to run portlint (in ports) before to submit anything.
